If his mother dies, will Zhao Chunhua, considering that she won't have a wicked mother-in-law to nag her, go home and live a good life with him?
Suddenly he felt a sharp pain in his arm and saw a young policeman glaring at him menacingly.
"Who are you trying to scare with that snarling look? Hurry up and get going, stop dawdling!"
Sun Tiezhu was completely stunned.
Go? Where to go?
Looking down at his two unresponsive hands, Sun Tiezhu was even more shocked.
When did he get a pair of silver handcuffs on his wrists? How come he didn't know anything about it?
Not only him, but also the troublemaking old lady Wang Guilan and the two rumor-mongers Sun Tiedan and Sun Tiechan had the same look.
Meanwhile, Zhao Youcai and his men had already led those important figures into the Zhao family's courtyard. The village head of Sunjia Village, like a lapdog in the village, grinned broadly and shamelessly followed behind the village head of Zhaojiagou, crowding in together.
Sun Tiezhu disagreed.
Even that old geezer can get into the Zhao family's courtyard, but I, the legitimate eldest son-in-law of Zhao Youcai's family, can't? Why is that?
The young policeman was so frightened by Sun Tiezhu's terrifying expression—his eyes bulging as if he wanted to devour someone—that he raised his hand and gave him a sharp rap on the forehead.
"Behave yourself! Are you going to bite a cop?"
Sun Tiezhu immediately lowered his head and walked forward obediently, not daring to say a word.
He's a jerk, that's true, but his brain isn't completely fried.
Knowing that the police were not someone an ordinary citizen like him could afford to mess with, the best course of action was to cooperate obediently. Perhaps he could even secure leniency and go home sooner.
As long as he isn't detained by the police for several days and nights, rumors won't spread in the village that he's squatting by the fence.
As for my mother, this good-for-nothing who can't do anything right and eats everything, it's good for her to go in there for a while. It would be best if she could sober up.
It would be even better if he could die in prison, then he could say that he didn't do those things voluntarily, but was forced to do them as a dutiful son who couldn't disobey his mother.
Then, just like when you first met Zhao Chunhua, you can coax her back with kind words and gentle manners.
It just means I won't hit Zhao Chunhua anymore.
As long as his wealthy and powerful father-in-law Zhao Youcai is around, he'd be happy to get slapped twice by Zhao Chunhua every day.
Meanwhile, inside the Zhao family's courtyard, the Zhao family's daughters-in-law were busy entertaining their distinguished guests, each rushing into the kitchen to showcase their culinary skills and prepare their best dishes.
Zhao Youcai's farm just unlocked the tea production last night, and the first batch of fresh tea leaves has been harvested. They can just take them out and brew them for them to drink.
As for whether to stir-fry or boil the tea, Zhao Youcai wasn't that particular. Anyway, anything produced on the farm that could be taken out proved it was ready to use.
The wheat from the farm still can't be taken out, simply because the processing plant hasn't been unlocked yet.
It wasn't that his level was too low; it was just that after Zhao Youcai used all the money he earned to unlock the processing plant, he didn't have any extra funds for anything else.
Nobody knows whether the unlocked processing plant can process all types of ingredients or only wheat. Will the ability to turn cabbage into kimchi or sauerkraut require further unlocking?
If he needs to continue investing money to unlock things one by one, there's no need for him to spend all his savings just to grind the wheat on the farm into flour.
Yesterday, when we invited the brigade leader and the others to our house for dinner and drinks, the brigade leader mentioned that in three or four days, we could take our work point record books and drive an oxcart to town to collect our grain.
Even villagers can receive grain, so those in the city who eat commercial grain will not lack staple food.
He processes the wheat from the farm into flour, but it doesn't fetch a high price.
Zhao Youcai then decided to temporarily suspend the processing plant and focus on figuring out how to make money work for him.
Thinking it over carefully, even if the unlocked processing plant function is rather useless, having extra money in hand can still guarantee the exchange of other resources.
...
"Brother Zhao's little courtyard is quite unique, clean, tidy, and spacious. It's really comfortable to look at."
Zhao Youcai's lips twitched as he listened to Director Ma's words.
How could it not be spacious? It was just vandalized a few days ago, and now that everything is gone, it's incredibly clean and tidy.
No wonder Director Ma of the textile factory was always completely suppressed by Director Niu of the steel factory. That sharp tongue of his probably made things much more difficult for him and caused him a lot of trouble.
"Hehe, Brother Cai is a good father, and his children are all well-behaved. They are much better than my troublesome kids."
Just then, a somewhat discordant voice rang out, and everyone looked in the direction of the voice to find that it was the head of Sunjia Village.
At this time, Captain Sun was eager to build a good relationship with Zhao Youcai, so he shamelessly started praising Zhao Youcai.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Youcai didn't appreciate his words at all; clearly, his attempt to flatter had backfired.
Zhao Youcai didn't even bother to roll his eyes at him. You can't pay attention to this kind of idiot. Being brain-dead is contagious.
Hearing the two of them making small talk and bringing up increasingly awkward topics, Zhao Yanfeng felt like giving them a piece of her mind.
You are really bringing up something that is not related to the topic.
She refused to believe that the two of them really knew nothing about what had happened in Zhao Youcai's family.
Why did Zhao Youcai specifically go to the two factories in town to say those things? Did they really think Zhao Youcai could predict the future? Did they really think Sun Tiezhu's disturbance at the Zhao family's house was an accident?
If the children in the family were truly sensible, a thousand times or ten thousand times better than other children, would the old man have to get up early and work late to sell vegetables in town?
What family living a decent life would have nothing in their yard?
Two idiots, did they leave their brains at home when they went out?
"Cough cough... This tea is really fragrant. I didn't taste anything more fragrant than this when I went to Hong Kong on a business trip last time."
It was Zhao Yanfeng who knew how to speak and change the subject in time.
Zhao Youcai waved his hand with a smile, "I don't like drinking plain water, I prefer something flavorful. Once, when I went up the mountain to make a snare to catch some rabbits, I accidentally discovered this grass that tasted good. I picked a handful of seeds and planted one on a whim, and I drink it whenever I have free time."
The group was immediately shocked, never expecting that this was also grown by Zhao Youcai.
This old man is really something else; he even knows how to grow tea!
Tea is a rare commodity in Northeast China; ordinary people can't afford it.
It was only when the leaders and prominent figures in the town were entertaining distinguished guests that a small amount would be carefully poured out, and a few people would gather around and sip it for a while.
As a result, the old man Zhao Youcai would brew tea at home and drink as much as he wanted.
The village head of Sunjia Village was dumbfounded again.
He finally understood why all the important figures in town had taken the initiative to come to the village to chat with Zhao Youcai and befriend him.
That old man Zhao is really good at hiding his true intentions.
Not to mention the village head of Sunjia Village, even Zhao Youliang was quite provoked.
Having lived in Zhaojiagou for most of his life, how could he not know that there were wild tea leaves on the mountain?
